What is the marketing strategy behind that? Are people more likely to buy a house from a Vietnam sex worker?

Probably thought it was funny, I don't think there was any more of an angle than that.

Ever seen the demand for Asian house sales? How many are listed is Chinese, with Chinese agents, often with no English?

Ever gone to an open home and had the Chinese agent completely ignore you while actively pursuing every Asian person there?

Is it racist and offensive- yeah probably. But its also what alot of the market and sales strategy demand.
